That's a relief. Whatever it is should be fairly easy to track down

Within limits - configure is what creates the file, and those scripts
aren't exactly small :].

There is a chmod +x $CONFIG_STATUS at the end of the script - that
doesn't seem to be having any affect.

I couldn't see if there is an equivalent for the libtool file.
